🎵Bed wheels keep on turning 🎵😬
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.
- Tuesday, 24th of September 2019
Tonight I met up with Camden Town John for a mission for Ms N in Camden. I'd previously done a gardening mission for Ms N (see here), and I was really thankful that today's mission was indoors rather than outdoors (my socks got so wet on the walk over, I wondered if this is what the inside of a water balloon feels like).
For today's mission, John and I were to help Ms N by moving a folding bed between two floors and by attaching some wheels and a headboard onto another folding bed.
We tackled the bed-moving first as I'd rather get the difficult things done and dusted. To our surprise, the folded bed elegantly folded itself around the twists and turns in the staircase: Within a matter of minutes, I was asking John to stop for a second so I could get at least a picture of us in action before it was all over! 😂
Next came the "easy" job of putting together the other folded bed. Like all of these things, the "easy" job turned out to be much trickier than the "difficult" job. John and I felt very much like the people illustrated in the instruction manual (although I was taking pictures with my phone rather than calling for help 😄). However, despite the fact that the bed wheels wanted to rotate about their own bearings more than they did into the holes that we were coaxing them into, we managed to finish this up relatively quickly.
Ms N was very happy with our work, and we spent a few pleasant moments chatting before saying our goodbyes for the evening.
See you tomorrow at Camden's group run, John! 😄👍
